Maternal Mortality Board Screensaver
The Maternal Mortality Board screensaver ranks real maternal mortality ratios per 100,000 live births by country. It is free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Maternal Mortality Board screensaver works
The saver reads real maternal mortality ratios per 100,000 live births data from the WHO's own Global Health Observatory API.
Countries are ranked by their real latest reported maternal mortality ratio.
The pipeline refreshes on the WHO's own periodic release schedule.
No key is required for this key-less public endpoint.
A worked example
